was, when brought from the grave. in a good
state of preservation. The coffin. however, had

full outlines of large woman have been pre-

from its resting place, and while it was being
transferred small piece was Clipped off. 1t

Our neighbors of Mexico are just n,

Our neighbors of Mexico are just now
profoundly agitated over the question
of their Presidents term of office. II
appears that i'm framing their Constitu.
ton the Mexicans undertook to protec.
themselves from violent and unscrupu-
lous ambition on the part of individuals
by inserting clause prohibiting any
one from serving Two consecutive terms
as President. 1t WAS proviso totally
out of harmony with republican insti-
tutions, since free people are always
the best guardians of their own liberties
and are deserving of liberty only 30
long as they are capable of command
ing it. They now discover the error
that was committed, for hereas public
opinion i'm Mexico approves the reten-
ton of Mr.. Porfirio Diaz at the head OF
the government during another four
years, the constitutional limitation al
ready spoken of interposes an insur-
mountabie obstacle to that cons mma-
ton.
Congress is engaged in the consider
alton of various measures for the rem.
edy of the trouble, one proposition
looking to constitutional amendment
making the term six instead of tour
years and another contemplating q
total repeal of the clause aud removal
of all restrictions upon the people in
the choice of their chief executive. No
doubt Mexico, which is an intelligent
and progressive and patriotic nation,
will solve this problem safely and sat-
isfactorly, but for the moment our sis
ter republic is passing thro ugh q crisis
that calls for the liveliest sympathy
and solicitude.-N. Y. Star.

Railroad Commissioners.

A few Democrats have expressed the
opinion that the state board of railroad
commissioners should be increased to
five members, all made appointive, and
two of the offices given to Republicans
Unless more work is provided for the
board, there is certainly no necessity
for increasing the membership. There
is little enough work now for three
entirely too little, a state of affairs
however, the commissioners are moi
responsible for in any respect.
The suggestion that the commission.
ers should be appointed in place ol
elected. is not without merit by any
means. It has been endorsed by some
of our wisest statesmen, on the ground

Organized Socialists.

1t is announced that the several Soc
| ia1ist or Anarchist organizations of the
country are soon to be united under q
General Executive Board, in imitation
of the Knights Of Labor; and the
Knights are highly complimented by
the obvious hostility of the new Social
ist organization to the Labor order.
There is not a Socialist in the land
who is not either an Anarchist or swift
ly tending to that theory; and there is
not Socialist or Anarchist in the land
who does not despise honest labor.
They are idlers, and idleness is the pa
rent of crime. With the honest industry
that brings the wealth of content-the
only riches the world can give-they
have irreconcilabie war, and it is fort
unate for organized Labor that the line
is to be distinctly drawn between them.
Of course, every Socialist and An
archist will begin the new crusade Of
the united idlers of the country, by as
sailing General Master Workma Pow
derly because he publicly expressed his
qualification at the defeat of the revolu-
tionary Socialists and Anarchists of
Chicago; but however the nights of
Labor may err in other things, they
can be entirely certain of the correct
ness of their position on any question
that calls out the unqualified hostility
of those who would degrade Labor or
CARNATIONS to lawlessness. Whenever
the legitimate workingmen of the conn-
try make their separation from the
revolutionary idlers and disorder breed
ing people of every grade, 80 distinct
that none can confound them, the or.
ganized Industries of the nation will be
in q position to command the largest
measure of public confidence and sym
pathy.
There will be no difficulty in meeting
and overthrowing the Anarchists. even
where they are strongest, when they
are distinctly a party of themselves.
Hitherto they have hung on the rag
ged edges of Labor organizations and,
in periods of passion, have been able to
drive the knights of La bor to the very
verge of anarchy; but the Chicago, st.
Louis and Milwaukee lessons have con-
served the Labor organizations to legit-
| innate aims and efforts, and created an
impossible gulf between the working
man and the revolutionary or murder
GUS idler.
| Let Anarchists unfurl their own flag
and enlist their followers under it, and
every honest workingman of the coun-
| try will join every other good citizen
| to make the Socialist and the Anarch-
ist fee the land of liberty and law, or
be taught absolute obedience to the
| law and order which are the jewels of
our great Republic. - Philadelphia

ment, freight rates, etc. The chief
objection to making the office appoint.
i've Is that it takes away a certain pow.
er from the people and lodges it In the
hand of one man.
So far as the third proposition Is con-
cerned. we have this to say: Dem
ocrats were not elected to the general
asse mbly for the purpose of creating
and giving good offices to republicans.
Even If enough work is provided 70
keep five commissioners busy, there Is
no reason why two of them should be
republicans. If there was necessity
for one hundred commissioners we
would still oppose giving the republi-
cans even one out this umbar. When
the republicans were in power they
never lost any sleep fixing up scheme
TO give some democrat an office, anil
hence it is piece of insolence on their
part to ask for any thing.
There is not a democratic member
of the general assembly who could
either have been nominated or elected
if he had previously announced his in
tention of voting for the creation of
tw o additional state offices for repub-
licans. If this is not conclusive proof
that no such law should be passed
then there is no nse in arguing the
case any further.
We believe that in Missouri demo-
Gratis are entitled to all the officers with
in the gift of q state officer or the gener-
al assembly. Some may admire the
of the democrat who says:
Give the republicans little; they are
to some representation, etc.,
but for our part we pity the peo pie
elevating him to an office.-Jeterson

A Disallowed Claim.

The Louisiana sugar growers are re.
ported as being IN state Of excitement.
not to say Indignation, over the Inter-
state Commerce law, or rather over Ger.
| tain proceedings in connection with
| one special clause thereof. They have
| met together and resolved that the
railroads should be forbidden to offer
Inducements and extend favors to the
shippers of Hawaiian suRars, and they
appeal to the Interstate Commi ission 70
see to this.
Our esteemed Louisiaua contempora-
ries seem to forget that the law in uues-
ton is Democratic measure and thai
the commission IL Democratic body.
What possible claim can the Louisiana
sugar planters have upon party whose
purposes they have always conspireti
10 thwart? Last winter they instruct.
ed their representatives In Congress to
act with the Republicans In defeating
consideration of the Morrison tariff bill.
and the votes of their representative
secured that defeat. It was perfectly
well understood that tariff reform was
the measure nearest the heart of the
Democracy, most important to Its rep
utation and well being, vet the repre-
sentatives OF the sugar producers of
Louisiana went over In q body to the
enemy's camp and by their treachery
assured Republican triumph.
The Interstate Commerce law will be
administered with intelligence and In
tegrity aud justice, and with whatever
OF usefulness and beneficence may be
possible under its provisions. The In
terests of the Louisiana sugar planters
will. of course, receive the same respect
and protection as may be given tn 9TH
er interests. and In that assurance the
persons concerned should rest content.
But 1t seems rather ina uspicious mo-
ment for these gentlemen 10 make
themselves conspicuous by setting up
q claim to peculiar consideration at the
hands Of Democratic administra ti0n
or of political body representing its
poiicy.-N. Y. Star.

It is plain to even casual observers
that the Republican party Is fearful
that President Cleveland will be the
nominee of the Democrat party for
the Presidency in 1888. The fear is
not unfounded, and his election I'm
1884 is almost assurance that he will
again be elected should he SO desire.
The fights now being made against
him by the Republican press may
with certainty be taken as proof Of
his strength among the people; and
although it is the effort Of these
journals to make 1t appear different
there seems to be no inst cause for
supposiug the President not to be
strong with the leaders of the DEM
ocratic party Charleston Democrat.
